Complex trading system #5 (Fibonacci trading)

Hi Kiran,

sorry, I completely missed this page.

The stop level will be moved only when a new swing high/low is formed.
You can use Bill William fractals to identify tops/bottoms and move stops. Also, trailing alongside Parabolic SAR dots will work.

Best regards,
Edward

Hi Edward,

Thank you for the sharing the strategy and all your support provided through Q&A. I have a question for you to maximise my trading. Can you detail how Stop losses should be trailed/managed with a position in profit. I know initially the stop loss is placed 4-5 pips above the 61.8% Fib Retracement level for a (short), and 4-5 pips below the 61.8% Fib Retracement level for a (long), but can you detail when to amend the Stop Loss throughout the life cycle of the position.

Thanks again!

Kiran

good fibonacci system

Ni Dennis,

you've made good observation and I agree with you about favoring /JPY pairs.

It wouldn't be, however, efficient to go in with two /JPY based pairs.
Instead have a look also at EURGBP, EURCHF and USDCAD alternatives.

Edward

Hi Edward,

This system works great. In the past I only traded de short timeframes 5 min, but continuing monitoring is not an easy job to do. I prefer now the larger timeframes with this strategie. I use it on 2 hours and 20 ema to look for the trend. I have less fals signales now. The last few months I only traded USD-YEN with this strategie and get some good results. I have have studyd all pairs with YEN and it looks like the fibonacci system works great with all pairs with the YEN in it. But would it be wise to trade two or three pairs at the same time with the YEN in it? for example USD/YEN and GBP-YEN?

thank you

Kind regards

Dennis

Thank you, Miha

I haven't tried 15 WMA on 15min TF, it may filter some additional trades, I'm not sure.
I think at this point you can take the main concept and perform further testing with various indicator settings.

Regarding filters for a changing trend, consider reviewing the topics of Divergence trading, market Volume spikes and Elliott waves. Each topic is reasonably difficult, but this is where the power of predicting reversals is concentrated.

Something less complex could be found probably among custom Forex indicators, for example, you can try to figure out the benefits for this method (if any, of course) from using additionally:
Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed.mq4
wellxAMA.mq4
VininI_Cyber_Cycle.mq4

Best regards,

Hi Edward, may-b someone asked you before so i apologize if the question was already answered. first of all I have to thank you and i cant express myself enough to do that. I was on one really expensive seminar about forex and the main subject was of course Fibonacci. I have to give you great compliments about your work and the way you teach us here, i very
appreciate what you are telling to us because i know a lot of ppl that are selling this
knowledge and believe me the price is not low and because of that, it makes me even more appreciate your work because of knowing it your giving it away for free :)
So to my question, can we use 15WMA on timeframe 15min ? Or is there something else to help us filter out the false trades, like to avoid trades when trend is about to change?
Regards, Miha

Yes, Jack

that's the way I like to write it: 5WMA and WMA5 are the same thing - both mean 5 period WMA.

Edward

Hello Edward
wht do you mean by 5 before wma did you mean 5 period
thanks
jack

WMA is Weighted Moving Average. It should be available on every trading platform. Try asking your broker if you can't find it, otherwise you can more or less substitute it with SMA - simple moving average.

Edward

Hello Edward

Thanks for your effort i have 1 question
how can i get the WMA indicator plz ?

Edward & All

Thank you for this strategy. I have been using the fib retracements for few weeks now, but I have always struggled to know at which level should I enter the trade. Sometimes I would make an order entry at the 38% level, but the retracement would go to 50% or even 62%. And sometime I make order entries at the 50% or 62% level, and the market would hit the 38% and resume the trend. With the use of WMA 5 and other suggestions in this post I could now spot bad trades as well as entry points. I will test this a little bit further and let you know the results.

Hi Tony,

it is normal to be struggling when you try to apply a system that someone else uses, especially when you're trying to concur Fibonacci method. There is hardly ever a quick start - just read the strategy and comments on this website over and over again until it becomes clear.

With all my respect, there is no point in repeating the strategy rules over again. If you have any specific questions: a certain sentence or point, at which you no longer able to follow the logic behind the system, then feel free to quote and ask for further interpretation.
Also, after all, don't stop on one strategy if you have difficulties with applying it, move on, this way you'll make even more progress.

Cheers,
Thomas
